Of the twe races decided this aftrrnoon the Criterion alone re quires any particulars in addition to those forwarded from the Heath. There were a great number of false starts. In the suc cessful one Montreal went off with the lead, followed by the Bel s!lazzar filly, Vale of Belvoir, Advance colt, Reel, and one or two others, the.rest lying rather wide. Immediately after passing the Duke's Stand the Belshazzar filly took up the running in earnest with Montreal, and Vale of Belvoir next her; she maintained her lead to the end, and won cleverly by a length. The Diasnentina colt, Reel, and Turquoise filly, were next, and then the tail, which was a lengthy one. The weather was boisterous early in the morning, but cleared up by ten o'clock, and continued fine to the close of the day. The at tendance was numerous.

PEDE STRIAN 'Sill. taken to'walk in the B a ttersea-fields 1,750 miles in 1,000 sue- THE GREAT F EA T. —Harris, the pedestrian, who has under cessive hours, being at the rate of one mile and three quarters each hour, completed 400 miles last night at His spirits are good, and he appears but little distressed . El le is quite sanguine as to his accomplishment of the task. I bread lives principally upon rump steaks, or roast beef, and and butter with coffee. He drinks very little beer, but regu larly consumes a pint of brandy mixed with water every day. At present his sleep is far from sound, and he says that he eight o'cloc_ke always feels the first two weeks of any pedestrian undertaking the most arduous, for want of deep slumber, which he never obtains until that time has passed, after which his repose be comes sound and refreshing, and his labour less difficult. Itd is a singular fact that Harris's legs never swell while en g a g e ' . with during in any pedestrian undertaking ; but as soon as ho lies by swel ling morning, t which his present performance was the heavy g br . ig commences. The only obstacle which Harris has met ale and penetrating showers of rain on Sunday night and Monday (.) gentleman laid an even wager of i e m a e d sadly annoyed him.

The deck was stove in, and two beams in the hold were b ro k en. One of the waggonmen, name d William Wear, was severely injured, and remains in a dange rous state.—Sunderland Herald. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) TIMES.—By the advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31 17s. 101 d. the ounce for standard . gold, gives an exchange of 13.11, and the exchange at Hareburgh on London at short being 13.E4, it follows that gold is 1.16 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 81- per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10id. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.36, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.47 r. it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 1091 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex change is 0.7 per cent. against England. The funds showed a good deal of firmness in the early part of the day, with a tendency upwards, Consols being at one time at 94. This quotation was not, however, long main tained, but ultimately they closed at 93 - 4 buyers for money and account. Bank Stock was 202 to 3 ; India Stock, 259 to 60. Exchequer Bills, 665. t 0,685. prem. By the packet-ship United States, American Papers have been received to the 14th inst. The voyage, therefore, has been performed in about fifteen days, which is almost equal to what has been done by steam. The rates of exchange had experienced a rather sudden decline from 10 per cent. pre mium, at which they previously stood, to 9f, owing to the United States Bank of Philadelphia, which was drawing freely on London. A considerable amount of bills bad been called for. It was supposed that this movement on the part of the Bank was with a view to check the growing exportations of specie. eFIRONIGLE..—Affairs generally at the Stock -change continue to recover gradually the depression they lately sus tained, especially the different Securities in the English mar ket, which are again a little higher; the account being 931 to 94; Reduced Three-and-a Half per C en t s ., 1001 to ; New ditto, 1001 to Exchequer Bills, 665. to 68s. preen. ; India Stock, 258 to 259 ; and Bank Stock, 2021 to 2031. Business in Foreign Stocks is not extensive, and the opera tions indeed are wholly without interest. The exportation of the precious metals from the port of Lond . on for the week ending Saturday last, the 27th inst., consisted, according to the official returns, of 301 ounces of gold bars, which were forwarded to Hamburgh ; 151 ounces of silver bars, sent to St. Petersburg ; and 62,000 ounces of slyer coin, of which 30,000 ounces were shipped for St. Petersburgh, 31,000 ounces to Rotterdam, and 1,000 ounces for the West Indies. The letters received this morning from New York, by the Wellington packet-ship, are to the 13th instant, up to which time commerce remained active, and the exchange on England had declined to 1001, a proof that the late shipments of gold to this country had been caused only by the insufficiency of bills to meet the extraordinary demand for remittances by the Great Western steam-vessel. The American newspapers are very much occupied with the subject of the resignation of the Earl of Durham ; and the opinion was very general in New York that he would remain in Canada, though it does not appear that the opinion rested on any authentic informa tion. The Royal William had arrived at New York after a very tempestuous passage of 20i days. There are accou n t s f rom Ca nton to t h e 13t h o f J une. T ra d e in opium was excessively dull, and the price of that commodity, as well as of cotton was declining. Freight on England was difficult to be obtained at 101. per ton. HE RA LD.— Money continues tolerably easy, and, although the much-increased advance in the price of wheat here will most probably cause foreign wheats and other grain to be im ported to some considerable extent at a reduced scale of duty, and thus indirectly turn the exchanges upon the Continent against this country, the continued importations of bullion from the United States will, to a considerable degree, coun tervail these operations ; for we find that the Wellington and Washington have brought to this country about 260,000 dollars in specie, chiefly'in gold, whilst the Emerald, for Havre, has brought out 200,000 dollars. There has not been much busi ness in the Continental exchanges, but the quotations continue to show a downward tendency. On Paris they are called 25f. 70e. a 25f. 75c. ; on Amsterdam they are 12 41 ; on Rotter dam 12 q; and on Hamburg, 13 101 a 13 11. There has been rather more activity in the British Stock Market to-day, and the Money Stock has been in more re quest, whilst the Commissioners for the Savings Banks conti nue their daily purchases ; these combined circumstances have, therefore, given more tone to the Funds, and in some instances the quotations have slightly improved. Consols are now 93 a 94 for Money and Time. The Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Reduced Annuities are 100 a i ; and the New Three-and_a-Half per Cents. 1011. a : "4- for Money. Bank Stock is only 2021- for Money; India Stock has advanced to 2591- a 260 Money, and 2591 a 2601 for Time. The premium upon Exchequer Bills is 66 a 68 ; and on India Bonds 64. The settlement of the Foreign Account, which has been but a light one, has passed over without difficulty, but there has been very little speculation carried on for the settlement of the 15th of November. The business in Shares has been chiefly limited to the ar rangement of the half-monthly time bargains. Great Western Railway Shares are quoted at 18i prem. ; Brighton are 2 a a discount ; and Blackwall I s discount. Birmingham are 84 a 85 prem. ; Greenwich 3-.1- a 3 discount ; Croydon are 2 dis count ; and Manchester and Leeds 17 prem. British North American Bank Shares are 1 prem. ; London and Westmin ster 31 prem. ; and London Joint Stock, 3 prem. The private letters by the United States from New York to the 14th inst. do not add, on any point, materially to th e ac counts by the Wellington, which have already appear e d. I n politics there w as nothing stirring, but it is considered that the elections were going rather in favour of the Government, or Van Buren party. The commerce of the United States con tinued to wear a very favourable appearance, and th e M oney Market was in a ver y healthy condition however, these ad v i ces so immediately fo llow those of tne previous arr i va l t ha t muc h n ove lty could not be anticipated from them. The following is a comparative statement of vessels, &ic. arrived at the p ort of Quebec in 1837 and 1838, to the re- spective dates of the 28th of September. Vessels. Tonnage. Passengers. 1838 ...... 938 1837 ...... 929 More this year... 9 8,620 Le55...18,825 In other respects, however, it does not appear that there is any change in the commerce of either of our Canadian pro vinces. Commercial advices have been received from Canton to the 13th of June. At that date trade continued very dull, par ticularly in cottons, in consequence of some renewed disputes between the merchants and the Hongs as to the mode of making the payments for this sort of Chinese produce. It ap pears that it has been the custom to pay a portion of the pro ceeds of cotton in inferior broken coins, which frequently were not changeable for several months. This system had proved most inconvenient, and the Hongs had resolved to break it up. The second crop of silk had not been brought to market, but the quality was expected to be fair, although the quantity was rather short. Opium was rather lower, but teas were in more request at the,late prices. Exchange on this Country bad not altered, and freights were 9/. 10s. to 10/. 10s. per ton. POST. —It appears that the commercial accounts from all parts of the United States are very favourable, .and the M oney :,tciy made for tii; e Market so easy, that elarge yhiehwilldoubtless shipments of bul l n m have ore beent n I meet the evident downward tendency of the Continent a l Ex changes, particularly as it is well known that the bullion in the hands of the Bank of England has lately rather increased than the contrary. The Exchange on London at New York had receded to 91 to 10 prem. The private letters from Montreal and Quebec are not very interesting, and nothing positive appears to have transpired respecting the final determination of Lord Durham to retain his office or the contrary. Mercantile advices from Canton to the lath of June have come to hand. The trade of that place continued rather dull, and it had been interrupted in some degree by a determina tion of the Hong merchants to resist the old custom of pay ing for a portion of the cotton proceeds by the foreign dealers in a spurious or broken coin, which frequently remained on the hands of the Bongs uncurrent for some months. Opium was rather lower, but tea was in more request, though the ad vanced prices were not submitted to. The new crop of silk was good in quality, but deficient in amount, and the Nankin crop had suffered from the cold wea ther in the spring, which had much injured the worms. Freights to London were 9/. 103. to 101. 103. per ton, and the exchange the same as last quoted.

Their con tents, however, are not so important as those received by the last conveyance. In Canada every thing appeared to remain in the same unsettled state : various other meetings bad been held in different parts of both Upper and Lower Pros inces, at which resolutions were unanimously passed, expressing a wish that Lord Durham would remain as Governor-General of the Colony. CANADA. (TO THE EDITOR OF THE QUEBEC GAZETTE,) Sir,—Please publish the inclosed resolutions in your Paper this evening, and oblige your obedient servant. C. HINT2R. At a public meeting, composed of about 3 000 free holders of the city of Quebec, held at St. Roch's suburbs, in favour of Lord Brougham, the following r solutions were proposed and unanimously adopted : " 1. Resolved—That far from participating in the feel ing expressed by a certain political party in Quebec, by burning Lord Brougham in effigy, on the night of Tues day, the 25th of September last, the real mass of the people of this province repudiate the act as a wanton outrage upon the Noble Lord, whose character and talents they cherish and respect. " 2. Resolved—That the thanks of the inhabitants of this province are due to the Right Honourable Lord Broualiam;for his strenuous and persevering efforts in fa vour of the rights and liberties of the people of Lower Canada. " 3. Resolved--That the thanks of the inhabitants of this province are likewise due to John Temple Leader, Esq., M.P., and others, for their unremitting and zealous exer tions in the House of Commons in favour of the people of Lower Canada. " 4. Resolved—That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the Right Hon. Lord Brougham and John Temple Leader, Esq., by the Secretary of this Meeting. C. HUNTER, Secretary. (From the Montreal Courier.) ORIGINAL CONFESSIONS.—We are authorised to state that the letter published as a letter of the individuals sent to Bermuda, bearing date Montreal Gaol, 18th June, 1838," is not the letter upon which the Governor-General was induced to act in the proceedings which had been adopted with regard to them. The letter being presented . to him by Mr. Simpson, on the part of the prisoners was deemed insufficient, whereupon the prisoners transmitted a second letter more distinct and precise, which we give be low. On this Lord Durham acted. " Montreal Gaol, June 25, 1838. "My Lord,—We have some reason to apprehend that the expressions used by us in a letter addressed to your Lordship on the 18th instant, may appear vague and am biguous. " Our intention, my Lord, was distinctly to avow that in pursuit of objects dear to the great mass of our population, we took a part that has eventuated in a charge of high treason. " We professed our willingness to plead guilty, whereby to avoid the necessity of a trial, and that to give as . far as in our power tr a nquillity to the country ; but whilst we the Permit provin us then, were thus disposed to contribute to the happiness of o thers, we could not condes c end to shield ourselves under the pro visions of an or di nance p asse d by the late Special Council of then, my Lord, to perform this great duty to mark our entire confidence in your Lordship, to place ourselves at your disposal, without availing ourselves of provisions which would degrade us in our own eyes, by marking an unworthy distrust on both sides. " With this short explanation of our feelings, we again place ourselves at your Lordship's discretion, and pray that the peace of the country may not be endangered by a trial. " We have the honour to be, my Lord, with unfeigned re spect, your Lordship's most obedient bumble servants, " R. S M. BOUCIIETTE H. A. GAUVIN WOLFRED NELSON S. MARCHESSEAU IL DES RIVIERES J. H. GODDU L. H. MASSON B. VIGER. " The Right Hon. the Earl of Durham, Governor. General, &e." PHILADELPHIA, 0c.r.1.1. (From the Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle.) It is now evident that Mr. Van Buren has gained an im mense support by the results of the late elections in Penn sylvania and New Jersey. The returns in this State are not yet all received, although the day of voting was on Tuesday last. This will not surprise your readers when they remember that Pennsylvania is larger than the kingdom of England. Enough, however, is known to satisfy even the most sceptical, that Joseph Ritner, the present Governor, will be re-chosen, and that David R. Porter will occupy the gubernatorial chair for the next three years. Both are men of ability, honour, and experience, although they differ widely in politics. Mr. Porter is a warm and zealous supporter of M. Van Buren's policy ; and it is believed that the elections in this state New and Jersey will have so strong an influence in the next session of Congress that the Sub-Treasury scheme, or some such measure, will be carried. Banking influence will, there fore, be greatly diminished. The passengers of the Royal William steam-ship, which arrived at New York on Wednesday last, after a twenty days' low anpeaes of s a ge water—only , complain t a h at h pint t they dayyve were also,put on t a short al h at t}ief fuel was so nearly exhausted that planks and spars were burnt up, to bring the ship into port. This requires looking to. Surely the Captain ought to have had water enough on board to last sixty or seventy days. As for the fuel, it is very possible that the Royal William carried all she could, and it must be admitted that her passage was stormy and boisterous. As a sea-boat, she is reported to have behaved nobly. Among the late disasters at sea some of the passengers of the ship Henry, from Liverpool, left that vessel with a party of sailors in a boat, for the purpose of obtaining fresh fish from one of the fishing schooners on the eastern edge of the G ran d B an k o f Nwfoundland. A fog came on, and they lost sight of the ship, which arrived at New York without them. They were fortunately picked. up by a schooner, in about twenty-four hours, and taken into Mar blehead, Massachussetts, after a woeful fright. We have no new intelligence from Canada worthy of notice, except that a General Officer of the United States army had conveyed information to the British Authorities of a secret organization being on foot near the Vermont frontier. Nearly all the gaols are now empty of prisoners lately confined for high treason ; and a letter which I have seen says that the reports of secret oaths, conspiracy, &c., are chiefly made for the purpose of keeping the soldiers and authorities on the qui vivo. The writer, however, fears for the consequences of next winter, when the ice is formed. Montreal is to be the head-quarters of Sir John Colborne ; o scalpedr which Cep_ twas and we learn that six regiments o f t he line are to be quar tered there. The refugees in V e r mont are said to be unu sually numerous. An attack from the Indians i s daily feared in Texas, especiallya n murdered o er ed f and hrro p er petrated on the 21 st ult.

The emigrants going west, and passing through Chicago, on Lake Michigan, amount to 1,000 per week. A valuable silver mine has just been discovered on the Mahoning River, in this State. Ne.v Orleans is healthy, yellow fever gone, and business brisk. The new cotton at that port sells at high prices. The banks of Savannah and Georgia commenced specie payments on the 2d inst. Everything passed off quietly, and the demand was by no means great. A destructive fire occurred in Cincinnati on the 3d, in which fourteen valuable houses were consumed, and several others damaged. The yellow fever still prevails at Charleston. Last week the victims to that dreadful pestilence were 49. John Jacob Astor, merchant, of New York, is said to be worth twenty-five millions of dollars, or five millions sterling ! Stephen Girard, who lately died in this city, was reported to be worth thirteen millions. S o you see that under republi can i nst i tutions enterprising and pru d en t merchants may b ecome wealthy. 'ilia Although th e t o b acco crops have failed i n they The are abundant i n Missouri and part of Kentucky. So very trifling has been the change in the markets, both stock and commercial, since the Bth inst. (with the exception of grain and flour), that my report of to-day must prove of an uninteresting character. In fact, I have little or nothing new to communicate. On M on d a y an d Tuesday Stocks rallied slightly, United States having risen to 1221 ; but yesterday they declined again, and United States hovers at about 122. Some few transactions have been done a shade lower. Fancy stocks of all kinds are de pressed. The mania for wild speculation seems to be at an end, and more solid enterprises are now sought for. This is a wholesome state of public feeling With respect to flour and grain, the holders are doing 1111 in their power to keep up the price, in consequence or the Royal William hating brought intelligence of the English ports being open at one shilling the quarter. Their endeavours, however, have not succeeded as yet ; for al though the quotations for flour are at 9 dols. per barrel, yet there are no buyers ! In Baltimore flour rules at 7.50 dols. ; in this city at 8.2.5 dots. No rise in cotton ; but fine sorts maintain their price. Low cottons are not in demand, except a few orders for home consumption. Tobacco is still high, without a prospect of decline. Money on good bills in this city is • 7 per cent. per annum. Exchange on England, 1091 to 110, with an upward tendency. Freight and seamen's wages as before. Sugars, coffee, and tea are dull. Liver pool coal 9.50 dols. to 79.75 dols. P.S. Since writing my letter I find that the counties from which the last New Jersey returns are received have disappointed the Van Buren party most grievously. They have, contrary to expectation, entirely turned the election. New Jersey has given a complete majority of 1,1.13 for the Whigs ! The State of New Jersey faces this city, on the opposite shore of the Delaware, and the above news has just arrived by the steam ferry-boat. FASHIONS FOR NOVEMBER. ( From the World of Fashion Monthly Magazine. ) PELISSES will be fashionable in different materials, as silks, satins, and plain fine merinos. Some of the latter made with the corsages high, and dose to the shape, and closed before by a single row of gilt buttons; the sleeves are full in the centre, but confined by a tight cuff fastened by buttons to cor respond Gilt and fancy buttons will be in request for dresses of this kind during the ensuing season. SPENCERS —This fashion, so long laid upon the shelf, will be revived this winter, both for carriage dress and for the theatres ; those adapted for the first will be of velvet, made high and close, and trimmed either with expensive fur, or fancy silk trimmings. The others will be of light-coloured satins, opening in the shawl style, but trimmed, instead of a pelerine, with a bouillon of tulle, edged with a row of bloni lace. Large sleeves trimmed at the top with bouillons of tulle. CLOAKS.—Thcre is a grand distinction made between those intended for carriage or promenade dress, and those employed for evening wraps ; the majority of the first are confined at the waist with cords and tassels in the pelisse style, and made as long and ample as usual. Short cloaks are most in favour for the latter. HATS J1: , 1) BON NETS. —A decided diminution has taken place in the size of both. Nothing is more elegant for half cress than a velvet bonnet oT a small and rather close shape, something between a cottage and an open front ; a bouquet of short shaded feathers is placed on one side, and a few small flowers, sometimes intermixed with blond lace, and sometimes not, decorate the interior of the brim. SHAWL MANTELETS.—The velvet and satin shawls so much in favour last year have been again revived with chenille fur, and black lace trimming, but the novelty of the moment, the shawl par excellence, is the shawl mantle; it is of the usual farm, !Alt disposed in front on each side in folds in such a manner as to supply the place of sleeves. FORMS OF ROBES IN EVENING DRESS.—FIat corsages will be most in favour. Corsages draped en co3ur will not, howe ver, be laid aside ; indeed, the fashion is too pretty and be. , coming to be easily abandoned ; but whatever form the upper part of the corsage may have, it must terminate in a point. If the sleeve is long t , the Victoria form will remain in s a v our ; if short, it may be light, with a trimming of the manchette kind, or else disposed in small bouillons. 'I he skirts are decidedly wider than those of last year. TRIMMING FOR EVENING ROBES.—Feather fringe and flowers will be in equal favour ; embroidery is expected to lose nothing of its vogue, and flowers, though they have been so long in request, will continue as fashionable as ever. But the trim ming expected to be most in request is old fashioned point lace. EVENING HATS are now composed of either velvet or Terry velvet, shallow in front and wide at the sides, they are always crnamented with ostrich feathers either plain or shaded, but the latter are preferred. BONNETS A L'Ect_Atft, leave the forehead exposed, allowing the ringlets, in which the hair is always dressed with this cap, to fall over the temples ; but a rouleau of riband, edged with blond lace, forms a diadem over the forehead, and is placed very far back. Last night, about seven o'clock, a dreadful acci dent happened to Mr. Kater, of Albany-terrace, and member of the Portlevor Club. The unfortunate gentleman was passing through Hyde Park, when the horse he was driving took fright, and proceeded at a very rapid rate through the Park towards Knightsbridge, where it came in contact with two other gigs. Mr. Kater was thrown out with fearful violence, and taken by some policemen to St. George's Hospital, whore it was found he had received a compound fracture of the skull, and but faint hopes are entertained of his recovery. The horse and gig proceeded in a very damaged state for a considerable distance. ROBBERIES.—Sunday night, from the house of Mr. Fulford, law-stationer, No. 3, Serle's-place, Carey street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, a silver watch, double-bottomed, engine -turned, with seconds hand, the initials E. F. on the back ; a gold seal, with white cornelian stone, and gold key, attached by a silver chain ; a coral negligee ; a gold ring, with inscription, " The gift of E. F. F. to his mother ;" a ring with two diamonds ; two guineas of George 111. in good preservation ; tbree sovereigns ; 1/. in silver, consisting of shillings and sixpences; and two fourpenny pieces of the pre sent reign. On Friday, from Boughton Monchelsea, Maid stone, Kent, eight pockets and .an end of grape hops, marked with a Kent horse, the weight, and G. and W. Tomkin, Boughton, Monchelsea. About midnight a green or dark coloured one-horse van was observed near the prethises. A reward of twenty pounds is offered for the discovery of the of fenders. Yesterday morning information was given to the various police-offices and station-houses of a robbery having been committed under the following novel circumstances, at the church of St. George's, Hanover-square :—A person of the name of Frederick Chapman, who officiated as the de puty clerk of the above church, absconded on the 29th inst., taking with him about seventy pounds, the property of the vestry, and about the same sum belonging to Mr. Powell, the clerk. hoppers that some parochial business is transacted every Monday in the vestry-room, and at the close of the bu siness on Monday last, the place was closed as usual, but for the purpose of obviating any inconvenience, a duplicate set of keys of the various drawers were kept in a cupboard, which Chapman by some means obtained possession of. It is sup posed that he returned and opened the desks, and having se cured the money, re-locked the doors. He then proceeded to the shop of a grocer, a few doors off, and left the keys, saying that Nlr. Powell had forgotten to take them with him, and that he would be obliged if they were sent in the course of to morrow (yesterday). This was done, when suspicion was in stantly excited, and the robbery was discovered. A number of men have been employed at North wich during the past week in excavating the earth, and in endeavouring to find the bodies of the three unfortunate men buried in the fallen ruins. On Tuesday traces of the smith's shop, in which they were at work, were discovered, and the vice, anvil, hammers, scales, and weights, and other tools dug out, as were . also jacket and hat of one of the sufferers. The engine gearing and other machinery have been discovered ; they or less broken and damaged, and will in future b v c a of of ninety except for old metal.
